INTRODUCTION

The Yamaha CSP-295B Clavinova Smart Digital Piano in Black is the flagship upright-style model in Yamaha’s CSP-200 Series, combining premium piano performance with powerful interactive learning, accompaniment, recording and entertainment features.

At its heart is Yamaha’s flagship GrandTouch keyboard, featuring wooden white keys, synthetic ebony and ivory keytops, escapement, counterweights and 88-key Linear Graded Hammers.

This sophisticated action is paired with two world-class concert grand sounds:

• Yamaha CFX

• Bösendorfer Imperial

Both benefit from binaural sampling and Yamaha technologies including Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM, Grand Expression Modeling, Key-Off Samples and Smooth Release.

But the CSP-295B goes far beyond conventional digital-piano functionality.

Connect Yamaha’s Smart Pianist app and the instrument becomes an extensive creative environment offering:

• 872 Voices

• 403 preset Songs

• Stream Lights

• Audio to Score

• Piano Room

• Microphone connectivity

• Vocal Harmony

• Multi-track MIDI recording

• Audio playback and recording

• Bluetooth Audio

• Bluetooth MIDI

All of this is housed within a comparatively compact upright-style cabinet finished in Black, making the CSP-295B a powerful option for players who want flagship CSP performance without the much larger footprint of the CSP-295GP grand-style model.

FLAGSHIP GRANDTOUCH KEYBOARD

The CSP-295B uses Yamaha’s:

GrandTouch keyboard.

This premium 88-note action features:

• Wooden white keys

• Synthetic ivory white-key surfaces

• Synthetic ebony black-key surfaces

• Escapement

• Counterweights

• 88-key Linear Graded Hammers

The GrandTouch action is designed to provide a broad dynamic range and detailed expressive control for serious piano playing.

88-KEY LINEAR GRADED HAMMERS

The CSP-295B incorporates:

88-key Linear Graded Hammers.

Instead of using only a few broad weighting zones, the hammer weighting changes progressively across all 88 keys.

This creates a more natural transition from the heavier bass register towards the lighter treble, reflecting an important characteristic of an acoustic grand piano.

COUNTERWEIGHTS

Counterweights are incorporated into the GrandTouch keyboard.

These help improve control when playing delicately and assist key return during rapid passages.

For advanced players, these details contribute significantly to the action’s responsiveness.

ESCAPEMENT

The GrandTouch action incorporates an escapement sensation designed to recreate the subtle tactile feedback experienced when playing an acoustic grand piano softly.

TOUCH SENSITIVITY

The keyboard response can be adjusted through:

• Soft 2

• Soft 1

• Medium

• Hard 1

• Hard 2

• Fixed

This allows the relationship between playing force and resulting dynamics to be adapted to the pianist.

YAMAHA CFX CONCERT GRAND

The CSP-295B features Yamaha’s flagship:

CFX Concert Grand.

The CFX provides a powerful, clear and expressive piano character suitable for:

• Classical repertoire

• Contemporary piano

• Jazz

• Pop

• Teaching

• Performance

BÖSENDORFER IMPERIAL

Alongside the Yamaha CFX is the:

Bösendorfer Imperial.

Its warmer, rich and distinctly Viennese tonal character provides a genuine alternative to the CFX.

Having both instruments available gives the pianist two contrasting flagship concert-grand personalities.

BINAURAL SAMPLING

Both headline piano sounds support:

Binaural Sampling.

This applies to:

• Yamaha CFX

• Bösendorfer Imperial

When practising through headphones, binaural sampling creates a more natural spatial impression around the player.

VIRTUAL RESONANCE MODELING – VRM

Yamaha’s:

Virtual Resonance Modeling – VRM

recreates the complex sympathetic resonance behaviour of an acoustic piano.

Rather than treating each note as an isolated sample, VRM models interactions between:

• Strings

• Pedals

• Harmonic relationships

• Resonating components

This helps create a more organic and responsive piano sound.

GRAND EXPRESSION MODELING

Grand Expression Modeling helps reproduce the tonal changes created by subtle differences in touch.

The technology works alongside the GrandTouch keyboard to make expressive playing more detailed and responsive.

KEY-OFF SAMPLES & SMOOTH RELEASE

The CSP-295B incorporates:

Key-Off Samples

and:

Smooth Release.

These reproduce subtle tonal behaviour associated with releasing notes and contribute to the overall realism of the piano experience.

256-NOTE POLYPHONY

The CSP-295B provides:

256-note maximum polyphony.

This gives substantial capacity for:

• Complex piano repertoire

• Extensive sustain-pedal use

• Layered sounds

• Automatic accompaniment

• Multi-Part arrangements

• MIDI playback

872 VOICES + 47 DRUM/SFX KITS

The CSP-295B provides:

872 Voices

plus:

47 Drum/SFX Kits.

This enormous sound library covers categories including:

• Acoustic pianos

• Electric pianos

• Organs

• Strings

• Brass

• Woodwind

• Guitars

• Bass

• Synthesizers

• Choirs

• Percussion

• World instruments

• Drum kits

• Sound effects

This gives the CSP-295B a creative range far beyond that of a conventional piano-focused digital instrument.

525 ACCOMPANIMENT STYLES

The CSP-295B provides:

525 accompaniment Styles.

These generate interactive backing arrangements that respond to the harmony you play.

Style sections include:

• Intro

• Ending

• Four Main variations

• Four Fill In variations

This allows performances to develop dynamically rather than relying on a static backing pattern.

A COMPLETE BACKING BAND

Depending on the selected Style, accompaniment can include parts such as:

• Drums

• Bass

• Guitar

• Keyboard

• Strings

• Brass

• Other instruments

This makes the CSP particularly effective for:

• Solo performance

• Singing

• Songwriting

• Entertainment

• Practice

• Creative exploration

403 PRESET SONGS

The CSP-295B includes:

403 preset Songs.

These can be used for:

• Learning

• Listening

• Playing along

• Practice

• Exploring different styles

SMART PIANIST

The CSP Series is designed around Yamaha’s:

Smart Pianist

app.

Rather than placing a large visual control panel on the piano itself, advanced operation is handled through a compatible smartphone or tablet.

Smart Pianist provides access to:

• Voices

• Styles

• Songs

• Piano settings

• Recording

• Accompaniment

• Learning features

• Audio functions

• Audio to Score

This allows the physical piano cabinet to remain clean and uncluttered.

STREAM LIGHTS

One of the CSP Series’ defining learning features is:

Stream Lights.

Lights positioned above the keyboard indicate which keys should be played.

The system provides:

Four-step guidance.

This creates an intuitive visual route into learning music and can be particularly useful for developing players.

AUDIO TO SCORE

Audio to Score works with Smart Pianist to analyse compatible music on your smart device and automatically create a piano accompaniment score.

This allows you to learn and play along with music you already enjoy rather than relying solely on preset educational material.

LESSON & GUIDE FUNCTIONS

The CSP-295B provides Guide functions including:

• Correct Key

• Any Key

• Karao-Key

• Your Tempo

Combined with Stream Lights, these create several different routes into learning and practising.

PIANO ROOM

Piano Room provides a dedicated environment for straightforward piano playing.

It makes it easy to move away from the extensive Styles, Voices and creative functions when you simply want to focus on piano.

MICROPHONE INPUT

The CSP-295B provides a:

Mic/Line input

with input-volume control.

This allows a suitable microphone to be connected directly to the instrument.

VOCAL HARMONY

The CSP-295B provides:

44 Vocal Harmony types.

Connect a suitable microphone and the instrument can process and harmonise your voice.

Combined with automatic accompaniment, this makes the CSP particularly powerful for singer-pianists and home entertainment.

16-TRACK MIDI RECORDING

The CSP-295B supports:

16-track MIDI recording.

This allows arrangements to be built part by part rather than recording only a single stereo performance.

It can be useful for:

• Composition

• Arranging

• Teaching

• Songwriting

• Practice

• Creative production

AUDIO FUNCTIONS

Through compatible Smart Pianist workflows, the CSP platform supports sophisticated audio functionality including:

• Time Stretch

• Pitch Shift

• Melody Suppressor

These tools can be particularly useful for learning and practising with existing music.

TIME STRETCH

Time Stretch allows compatible audio playback speed to be adjusted without simply changing musical pitch.

This is extremely useful for practising difficult passages.

PITCH SHIFT

Pitch Shift allows compatible audio to be transposed.

This can be particularly useful for:

• Singers

• Instrumentalists

• Playing along in different keys

MELODY SUPPRESSOR

Melody Suppressor can reduce the prominence of centrally positioned lead material in compatible audio.

This can make it easier to perform the lead part yourself.

GP RESPONSE DAMPER PEDAL

The CSP-295B provides three pedals:

• Damper

• Sostenuto

• Soft

The damper supports half-pedalling and incorporates Yamaha’s:

GP Response Damper Pedal.

This is designed to recreate the changing pedal resistance experienced on an acoustic grand piano.

GRAND ACOUSTIC IMAGING

The CSP-295B uses Yamaha’s:

Grand Acoustic Imaging

approach to create a convincing sound field around the player.

The speaker system is carefully positioned and balanced so bass, middle and treble frequencies appear to originate naturally around the instrument.

THREE-WAY SPEAKER SYSTEM

The CSP-295B uses a powerful three-way speaker system:

(16cm + 8cm + 2.5cm dome with Bidirectional Horn) × 2

with:

Spruce Cone Speakers.

Amplification is:

(50W + 50W + 40W) × 2

giving:

280W total rated amplification.

This is the same headline amplifier power as the CSP-295GP, although the physical speaker architecture differs because of the upright-style cabinet.

BIDIRECTIONAL HORNS

The CSP-295B uses:

Bidirectional Horns

with its high-frequency speaker system.

These help distribute sound throughout the cabinet and room to create a broader, more natural sound field.

SPRUCE CONE SPEAKERS

The CSP-295B incorporates Yamaha’s:

Spruce Cone Speaker

technology.

Spruce is a material closely associated with acoustic-piano soundboard construction and contributes to Yamaha’s acoustic design philosophy.

INTELLIGENT ACOUSTIC CONTROL

Intelligent Acoustic Control – IAC helps maintain tonal balance when playing at lower volume levels.

This is particularly useful for home playing.

HEADPHONE PRACTICE

Two standard stereo headphone connections are provided.

For Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer piano Voices, binaural sampling provides an immersive spatial listening experience.

For suitable other Voices, Stereophonic Optimizer helps create a more natural headphone sound field.

BLUETOOTH AUDIO

Bluetooth Audio allows compatible smart devices to stream music wirelessly through the CSP-295B’s powerful speaker system, subject to regional availability.

BLUETOOTH MIDI

Bluetooth MIDI provides wireless communication with compatible devices and is particularly useful for connecting to:

Smart Pianist.

Regional availability applies.

CONNECTIVITY

The CSP-295B provides connectivity including:

• 2 × standard stereo headphone outputs

• Mic/Line input

• Input-volume control

• MIDI IN

• MIDI OUT

• MIDI THRU

• AUX IN

• AUX OUT L/L+R and R

• AUX Pedal

• USB TO DEVICE

• USB-C connectivity

• Bluetooth Audio

• Bluetooth MIDI

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Yamaha CSP-295B is particularly well suited to:

• Advanced pianists

• Developing piano students

• Families learning together

• Singers and pianists

• Singer-songwriters

• Piano teachers

• Entertainers

• Composers

• Creative musicians

• Players who enjoy automatic accompaniment

• Players wanting interactive learning

• Musicians wanting a huge sound library

• Players needing flagship CSP performance in a compact cabinet

• Homes where the larger CSP-295GP would be impractical

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

With 525 Styles and a vast Voice library, the CSP-295B is exceptionally versatile for:

• Classical piano

• Contemporary piano

• Pop

• Rock

• Jazz

• Blues

• Soul

• R&B

• Country

• Folk

• Latin

• Dance

• Film music

• Orchestral music

CSP-295B VS CSP-295GP

The CSP-295B and CSP-295GP share essentially the same core flagship CSP technology.

Both provide:

• GrandTouch keyboard

• Wooden white keys

• 88-key Linear Graded Hammers

• Counterweights

• Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial

• Binaural sampling

• VRM

• Grand Expression Modeling

• 256-note polyphony

• 872 Voices

• 47 Drum/SFX Kits

• 525 Styles

• 403 Songs

• Stream Lights

• Audio to Score

• Smart Pianist

• Microphone input

• Vocal Harmony

• 16-track MIDI recording

• 280W total rated amplification

The major differences are cabinet, pedals and speaker architecture.

CSP-295B

• Upright-style cabinet

• Black finish

• Folding key cover

• GP Response Damper Pedal

• Three-way speaker system with Bidirectional Horns

• 484mm deep

• 99kg

CSP-295GP

• Grand piano-style cabinet

• Opening grand-style top

• GrandTouch pedals

• Additional 20cm speaker

• Waveguides

• Twisted Flare Port

• 1,237mm deep

• 133kg

The CSP-295B is dramatically easier to accommodate in a typical home.

CSP-295B VS CSP-295PE

The musical specification is essentially the same.

The primary differences are cabinet finish, weight and minor physical dimensions.

CSP-295B

• Black

• 99kg

• 1,437 × 1,127 × 484mm

CSP-295PE

• Polished Ebony

• 103kg

• 1,437 × 1,129 × 484mm

Choose the B version for the standard Black cabinet.

Choose the PE version when the premium high-gloss Polished Ebony finish is important.

CSP-295B VS CSP-295PWH

Again, the core musical specification is the same.

CSP-295B

• Black

• 99kg

CSP-295PWH

• Polished White

• 104kg

The choice is primarily one of furniture finish and visual style.

CSP-295B VS CSP-275B

The CSP-295B sits above the CSP-275 in the range.

Major advantages of the CSP-295 include:

• GrandTouch rather than GrandTouch-S

• 88-key Linear Graded Hammers

• Counterweights

• 872 rather than 772 Voices

• 525 rather than 495 Styles

• More powerful three-way amplification

• Grand Acoustic Imaging

• Spruce Cone Speakers

• GP Response Damper

The CSP-275 is lighter and more compact, but the CSP-295 is the more sophisticated piano and audio platform.

CSP-295B VS CLP-885B

These are both premium upright-style Clavinovas, but their priorities differ.

CSP-295B

Designed around:

Piano + learning + accompaniment + entertainment + creativity

Key advantages include:

• 872 Voices

• 47 Drum/SFX Kits

• 525 Styles

• Stream Lights

• Audio to Score

• Smart Pianist-centred operation

• Microphone input

• Vocal Harmony

• Automatic accompaniment

CLP-885B

Designed more specifically around:

Premium acoustic-piano simulation and traditional piano use.

Choose CSP if the interactive and creative features matter.

Choose CLP if you want a more dedicated piano-focused experience.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT

The Yamaha CSP-295B measures approximately:

Width: 1,437mm
Height: 1,127mm
Depth: 484mm
Weight: 99kg

This is one of the major practical advantages of the upright-style CSP-295.

For comparison, the CSP-295GP is approximately:

1,237mm deep

and weighs:

133kg.

The CSP-295B therefore provides the flagship CSP feature set in a much more space-efficient cabinet.

BLACK FINISH

The B suffix identifies the Black version of the CSP-295.

This is a standard dark cabinet finish rather than Yamaha’s reflective Polished Ebony finish.

For customers wanting a premium high-gloss alternative, Yamaha also offers the CSP-295 in polished finishes.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Yamaha specifies power consumption of approximately:

72W.

Auto Power Off functionality is provided.

🎵 FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Pianists and families who want Yamaha’s flagship CSP technology but prefer a conventional upright-style cabinet rather than the much larger grand-style CSP-295GP.

Likely upgrade path: Existing CSP owners, older Clavinova users, advanced digital-piano players, arranger-piano owners and families wanting a long-term instrument that can support both serious piano playing and interactive learning.

Useful pairings: A compatible tablet running Yamaha Smart Pianist, good-quality headphones, a suitable vocal microphone and appropriate USB accessories.

Our tip: The CSP-295B is arguably the more practical flagship CSP for most homes. You retain the GrandTouch action, Linear Graded Hammers, CFX and Bösendorfer sounds, 525 Styles, Stream Lights and the full Smart Pianist experience, but the cabinet is only 484mm deep rather than the 1,237mm depth of the grand-style CSP-295GP.

FDM view: The CSP-295B manages to combine serious piano credentials with a genuinely huge creative feature set. Its GrandTouch action and powerful three-way sound system make it a sophisticated piano in its own right, while Smart Pianist, Stream Lights, 525 Styles, microphone input and Vocal Harmony make it an unusually complete home music instrument. For many customers, the upright cabinet will make far more practical sense than the GP while sacrificing very little in core functionality.
